Quick Question: Tea or Coffee?

I’m a tea girl. Have been ever since I gave up coffee during my first pregnancy 14 years ago. Sporadically over that time, I have dipped my toe back into caffeine. Each time it has been highly unsuccessful. I love the taste of coffee. I love the idea of it. There’s something…..cool about it. It’s almost social shorthand for ‘engaged, awake, energised, alert’.

But I can’t do it. For me, it becomes ‘hyper, edgy, agitated, angsty, jittery’. Which isn’t a lot of fun for me or those around me.

Tea has a different social shorthand. It’s comfort. Nurturing. Chilled. Centering.

I drink buckets of the stuff. Maybe 4 buckets a day. Sometimes more.

Are you a tea or coffee person? How do you take it? What kind of milk? How many a day?
